This paper is adjacent to HFEPX scope and is best used for background context, not as a primary protocol reference.
Use this as background context only. Do not make protocol decisions from this page alone.
All signals on this page are inferred from the abstract only and may be inaccurate. Do not use this page as a primary protocol reference.
Best use
Background context only
Use if you need
A secondary eval reference to pair with stronger protocol papers.
What to verify
Read the full paper before copying any benchmark, metric, or protocol choices.
Main weakness
This paper looks adjacent to evaluation work, but not like a strong protocol reference.
Treat as adjacent context, not a core eval-method reference.

Bayesian inference represents a principled way to incorporate Earth structure uncertainty in full-waveform moment tensor inversions, but traditional approaches generally require significant approximations that risk biasing the resulting solutions. We introduce a robust method for handling theory errors using simulation-based inference (SBI), a machine learning approach that empirically models their impact on the observations. This framework retains the rigour of Bayesian inference while avoiding restrictive assumptions about the functional form of the uncertainties. We begin by demonstrating that the common Gaussian parametrisation of theory errors breaks down under minor ($1-3 \%$) 1-D Earth model uncertainty. To address this issue, we develop two formalisms for utilising SBI to improve the quality of the moment tensor solutions: one using physics-based insights into the theory errors, and another utilising an end-to-end deep learning algorithm. We then compare the results of moment tensor inversion with the standard Gaussian approach and SBI, and demonstrate that Gaussian assumptions induce bias and significantly under-report moment tensor uncertainties. We also show that these effects are particularly problematic when inverting short period data and for shallow, isotropic events. On the other hand, SBI produces more reliable, better calibrated posteriors of the earthquake source mechanism. Finally, we successfully apply our methodology to two well studied moderate magnitude earthquakes: one from the 1997 Long Valley Caldera volcanic earthquake sequence, and the 2020 Zagreb earthquake.
These are the protocol signals we could actually recover from the available paper metadata. Use them to decide whether this paper is worth deeper reading.
